After a terrible bushfire season in Australia that reduced the koala population significantly, Kiki the koala welcomes a newborn joey bringing hope and joy back to the local community. Dressed in native flowers and leaves, Kiki is a glowing new mother, celebrating new life and her new love.
I have used DMC Natura Just cotton yarn with the colours:
003 - Sable - light grey 039 - Ombre - dark brown 083 - Ble - yellow 079 - Tilleul - light green 081- Acanthe - light orange 006 - Rose Layet - light pink
1 ball of grey, and less than 50g of each other colour will be enough.
I have used DMC Happy Chenille yarn for the fluffy white part of the Koala’s ear: 020 - Snowflake - white
*Alternatively, you can use white DMC natura cotton yarn (001 - Ibiza - white)
